<b>Chapter </b><b>24 </b>
Jaxson <b>was </b><b>forced </b>to <b>marry </b>Charlotte, she saw <b>it </b><b>all</b><b>, </b>but <b>Madam Hamilton </b><b>was </b><b>too </b><b>strong</b><b>, </b><b>as </b>a <b>daughter</b><b>–</b><b>in</b><b>–</b><bw</b><b>, </b>she <b>couldn’t </b>do <b>anything </b><b>about </b><b>it</b>, <b>she </b><b>could </b><b>only </b><b>turn </b>a blind <b>eye</b><b>. </b>
I <b>thought </b><b>he </b><b>would </b><b>agree </b><b>readily </b><b>ording </b>to his <b>son’s </b><b>character</b>.
After all, <b>does </b><b>her </b><b>own </b><b>son </b><b>care </b><b>about </b><b>Charlotte </b><b>or </b><b>not</b>? <b>Can’t </b><b>she </b><b>see </b><b>that </b><b>as </b><b>an </b><b>observer</b><b>? </b>
Jaxson’s <b>pen </b><b>stopped</b>, but <b>there </b><b>was </b><b>a </b>hint of <b>impatience </b>in his <b>eyes</b><b>, </b>“<b>You </b><b>don’t </b><b>need </b>to <b>worry </b><b>about </b><b>me </b>and <b>her</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>
Victoria <b>froze</b><b>. </b>
I <b>didn’t </b><b>expect </b>him <b>to </b><b>react </b>like that.
You think <b>I </b><b>want </b><b>to </b><b>care</b><b>!</b><b>” </b>Victoria banged <b>on </b>the <b>table</b><b>.</b><b>“</b><b>Jaxson</b>, <b>once </b>this <bes </b>out, Charlotte will also <b>know</b>. Do <b>you </b>think she won’t <b>mind</b>?”
<b>Jaxson </b><b>fell </b><b>silent </b>for <b>a </b><b>moment</b>, his <b>tone </b>t, “She wouldn’t<b>.</b><b>” </b>
Watching her son <b>refuse </b><b>to </b><b>eat </b>or drink<b>, </b>she <b>became </b><b>so </b><b>angry </b>that she <b>didn’t </b>know what to <b>do</b>.“<b>I </b><b>can’t </b>be bothered to <b>deal </b>with <b>you </b><b>anymore</b>, <b>you </b>sort <b>it </b><b>out </b><b>yourself</b>!”
<b>After </b>Victoria left, Jaxson picked up his phone and scrolled through <b>Instagram</b>, his <b>eyes </b>slightly cold.
<i>e </i>“He <b>made </b><b>a </b>phone <b>call </b>and instructed the public rtions department to <b>remove </b>the trending topic.”
Charlotte had two surgeries in the hospital and didn’t have time to look at her phone <b>at </b>all.
When <b>I </b><b>came </b>out of the operating room <b>again</b>, it <b>was </b>already afternoon.
She <b>changed </b>out of her <b>surgical </b>gown, rubbed her stiff <b>neck</b>, and returned to the <b>office</b>. Subconsciously looking up, the <b>man’s </b>tall figure <b>was </b>standing <b>at </b>the door of her office<b>. </b>
Seeing the handsome <b>face </b>of the man, Charlotte’s steps hesitated slightly.
How did Jaxson end up here<b>? </b>
However…
Most likely also <b>came </b>to find Caroline.
She plucked up her courage and walked <b>over</b><b>, </b>expecting him <b>to </b><b>act </b>as usual, pretending not to know <b>her </b>and walking <b>away </b><b>as </b>soon <b>as </b>she approached.
The man stood in front of the office <b>door</b>, not moving.
